@clumsyoaf33 Central heating. Before then we used to dash downstairs as dad would have put our school schools on the maiden around the fire. This was the late 60’s and that man worked his socks off to give us a better life.
@ListerLawrence@Jalopnik An acquaintance has a Kia Nero EV and commutes from Preston to Old Trafford 4 days a week and charges it at home once a week. His wife though has a Mini EV and the range is only 100 miles.
I would have an EV but still too pricey for me.
@Kris__Mills@BellaBaddie__ Not any more, all EV’a are auto and I don’t think Honda have sold a manual box car since around 2019 (so the sales chap told me). Most large Audi/BMW/Range Rover type cars are auto too. I bought an DSG auto Kia this time around as I am either on a motorway or in town.
@history99917180 Paper round from 11 to 15, 6 miles every day then worked in a shoe factory from 15 to 19 every holiday unti I left college and moved away from home to start work at British Leyland at Cowley
@ambergambler_ I have done it a couple of times and found it difficult at night. I have eaten early then gone and sat on the balcony with a glass of something, music and a book. I hope it levels out for you.
